- Existing binding projects embed the native libraries within the assembly as managed resource
- This does not scale well and has performance implications
- This PR creates a new property, NoBindingEmbedding which when true processes the building and consumption of binding projects differently.
- Existing binding projects are not affected, they will continue as is
- I've written a full XM test suite and ported a subset to iOS. Since iOS only supports checked in projects, and I didn't want to make the existing situation worse by adding more, I only wrote tests that could use the existing test projects.
-When we complete some form of msbuild testing reform, we'll revisit these tests.
- Remove two files in MyiOSFrameworkBinding that are not used (we use copies elsewhere)
- Remove unnecessary sleep and fix broken touch command
- Output failing test log to console instead of test output
- VSfM does not handle thousands of lines of test failure message well
- Add ability to generate binding projects with LinkWith
- Fix XM and XI binding projects to use csc instead of mcs
- Add BindingProjectTest to verify csc not mcs for XM
- In non-msbuild use cases, removing -sdk params requires adding System/mscorlib so btouch now knows to add those references.
- Obsolete a few arguments to btouch
* [msbuild] Pack all iOS MSBuild Task assemblies into a single assembly
* Fixed the build
* Renamed ProcessArgumentBuilder to CommandLineArgumentBuilder
This is needed to prevent symbol conflicts with Xamarin.MacDev's
ProcessArgumentBuilder (which is functionally different from
Xamarin.MacDev.Tasks.Core's class of the same name).
* Fixed ILRepack logic for filtering dll's to repack
* Fixed building of Xamarin.iOS.Tasks.Tests now that X.iOS.Tasks.dll contains all symbols
* Updated Makefile now that only 1 iOS Task assembly needs to be distributed
* ILRepack Xamarin.Mac.Tasks as well
* Fixed up *.targets to specify The One Assembly To Rule Them All
* [xharness] Build MSBuild tests with MSBuild.
* Touch the ilrepack stamp file *after* invoking ILRepack, not before.
* Same for Xamarin.Mac.Tasks
These targets were failing to build on design-time builds for mostly 2 reasons:
- When loading the project VS is not connected to the Mac, which is required for binding projects.
- Since a reduce amount of targets are ran, the ReferencePath list is empty and makes _GeneratedSourcesFileList fail
Anyway, we shouldn't run targets that we don't need on a design-time build to avoid impacting on its performance
Why these targets were being executed on design-time builds? It's a side effect of adding them to CompileDependsOn.

Fixes bug 387900 - Referenced component could not be found for Binding Library projects
https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/DevDiv/_workitems/edit/387900
Using the FullPath property breaks the build from Windows, since the metadata will contain a Windows path.
Partial fix for Bug #51759 - Getting build error for iOS sample 'Simpleapp-with-framework'
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51759
This cuts down another group of conditional compilation sections, paving the
way for an IKVM-based generator.
This makes it required to pass --target-framework for to generator executables
(previously only required for Xamarin.Mac/Unified to distinguish between the
different Xamarin.Mac/Unified variants), but it should be invisible to users
since we'll automatically pass the correct --target-framework argument from
the corresponding scripts (btouch/btv/bwatch/bmac) and the MSBuild targets.
This will only break somebody who is executing the managed executables
directly, but nobody should do that in the first place (it's not a supported
scenario).

* [msbuild] Rename and unify to IsMacEnabled
We previously had an MtouchTargetsEnabled and a separate
IsMacTargetsEnabled for iOS and XM, when both actually
meant the same thing: is a Mac enabled for building this
project?
Note that instead of "targets", we make it more generic,
since the condition can be used in a task, a property
group or whatever really, not just to enable/disable
certain targets.
Also, we call it Enabled, rather than Connected or
Available, since it's more natural to think that all such
tasks/targets are enabled when you're building locally
on the Mac. Connected wouldn't have been appropriate, and
Available would be confusing.
For backwards compatibility I've kepd the old MtouchTargetsEnabled
pointing to IsMacEnabled. We'll change our Windows targets
accordingly to also unify this property and how/where it's
set.
* [msbuild] Use full condition comparison for robustness
This is the proper way to use a boolean in a condition, and
prevents errors whenever the property is an empty string or
anything other than a boolean value.
